260927 An Offering That Lasts

The narrow gate is hard to recognize because the things that actually matter rarely look impressive in the moment and the things that look impressive rarely last. David's repentance after taking a census of Israel is what led him to buy the altar at Ornan's threshing floor. That same land becomes the site of Solomon's temple and the one thing from David's entire reign still shaping the world today. We shouldn’t chase what everyone else is doing or measure our lives by what feels significant in real time. Instead, we should keep our eyes fixed on the narrow thread of God's will, since that's the only thing that holds its weight through time. Matthew 7; 1 Chronicles 21; Proverbs 4; James 1 NYC Sunday Sermon | September 27, 2026
